*Fender® G-DEC® 3 Users: Please use the instructions below to install new/different data packs to your Fender® G-DEC® 3 amp*


To install the Original or Special Edition Fender G-DEC 3 content:



1. Locate the .zip file that you downloaded previously. Double-click the file to unzip it. This should result in four separate files, one with a “.bin” file extension, one with an “.img” extention, a firmware file ending in”.upd”, and a “.txt” read me file.

2. Insert your SD card into your computer’s SD card reader. Click and drag all files except for the .txt readme file to the root level (not inside any folders) of the SD card and wait for the files to copy.

3. Once the files have finished copying, you may remove the SD card from the card reader and insert it into your G-DEC 3.

4. Power on the amplifier with the SD card inserted. If the amp was powered on when the SD card was inserted, please power it off and on again.

5. The G-DEC 3 screen should display a message that says “IMAGE FOUND: Press Start to Load or Press EXIT to skip”. This is the image containing the Band Track audio files. Please press the Start/Stop button to install the Band Tracks. This process will take approximately ten minutes.

6. Once the process is complete, power cycle the amp once more. You will be presented with the same “IMAGE FOUND” message from step 5. This time around, press EXIT to skip it. You’ll see another screen that says “UPDATE FOUND: Press Start to Load or Press EXIT to skip”. This is the G-DEC 3 firmware update file. Press the Start/Stop button to begin the update.

7. Once the update is complete, the amp will display “UPDATE COMPLETED: DELETE UPDATE FILE FROM SD CARD? Press Start to Delete or Press EXIT to skip.” Please delete the file from the card by pressing the Start/Stop button on the amp.

8. After deleting the file, your amp should reboot and briefly display the Fender logo splash screen followed by a special splash screen indicating which firmware version is installed. FSR firmware will display either Country, Metal, or Blues. If you installed the original G-DEC 3 firmware and media files, you’ll see the standard G-DEC 3 splash screen after the Fender logo screen.

9. You should now have a fully functional G-DEC 3 amplifier with the desired content loaded.

NOTE: The IMAGE files from step 5 will still be present on the SD card. It is recommended that you remove those files by insterting the SD card into your computer and deleting the .IMG and the .BIN files. If you don’t remove these files, you will be prompted to install them again whenever you boot up your amp with the SD card inserted.
